PRESS RELEASE: Bluejacket Authentic Threads Takes Off

Bluejacket Authentic Threads, a custom designed military themed apparel company, has opened its virtual doors of a new online store, located at www.bluejacketauthentic.com.

"I am incredibly excited and honored to launch a company by and for Navy veterans," said John Haynes, Founder and Owner of Bluejacket Authentic Threads. "While military clothing is everywhere these days, trendy Navy-themed clothing designs are few and far between."

Born from several conversations between then shipmates and close friends Haynes and TJ Waldhauser while on deployment to the Persian Gulf in 2012, Bluejacket Authentic has made a commitment to receive artistic input and feedback from veterans across America.

"There are many talented veterans hidden in the ranks," Haynes said. "While the first designs come solely from myself, I fully intend on partnering with other artists, entrepreneurs, and other experts throughout the vet community to continue sharing our story."

Waldhauser passed away in April 2017. Since then, Haynes made a commitment to launch the business the two Sailors dreamed of overseas.

"Bluejacket Authentic is more than just another guy selling shirts," Haynes said. "It's about carrying on the legacy of the many great Americans of all colors, genders, and backgrounds that have served our Armed Forces. That is the single driving force behind everything we do."
